Alright! So, I have a bit of a confession to make. Due to the horrible underestimation of the time required for the new mini-game in Chastity Quest's Build 5, I haven't even started on June's Story Reward. Nor do I see much realistic chance it will actually get done before the end of June. Which doesn't meant it won't get done. In fact, I'm actually planning to try to make it extra-long as some compensation for it being late. However! Ultimately, this post i...

Alright, I meant to post this last night, but some issues came up that set my whole day of progress back several hours. Development related issues, not life, to be clear. Specifically, the highly-unstable heavily-modded copy of Skyrim that I get my captures from decided, between one day and the next (and without be changing ANYTHING) to explode. One of the most critical mods I use corrupted itself somehow, so I spent something like 3 hours just getting everything bludgeoned back into semi-fun...

Okay, so semi-melodrama moment aside. I HORRIBLY underestimated how much time making the escape mini-game was going to take. I'm already a full day behind me most pessimistic estimate, and I'm full expecting it to take another day or so, at least. Now, that's not the end of the world! The mini-game alone actually accounts for roughly 12 scenes worth of unique...

Okay! So, I've actually been meaning to post this for the last couple of days. But...the last couple of days have been be rocking back and forth in a corner between sets of screenshots, asking myself why I was doing this to myself -_-. Specifically, one of the Big additions for Build 5 is going to be a small escape game of sorts, that makes up the primary way to gain Rogue/Thief skill points at the Thieves Guild (you could also pay for training, but that's just boring, right?!).

Update! A walkthrough for all current sex scenes (as well as basic information on the game's systems) has been added to the post! Depending on how you count them, there are either 14 or 18 total sex-containing scenes, currently. (It depends on how you count some of the variants, like the endings for the Rose Dancer job).
Alright...so, I technically made it. At least in the sense that the game was done and uploaded by midnight. As I'm starting on the post at 11:51pm, tho...

So, I was actually hopeful that, despite my warnings that things might slip over to the 17th, that they actually wouldn't. I was all prepared to buckle down and hammer hard all of yesterday to see if I could pull off getting Haven's Port out last night. Unfortunately, that got utterly derailed when I ended up spending around 4 hours last night helping a friend deal with a bit of a breakdown. I don't, can't, regret that. Said friend has been under immense stress lately and has always been ther...

Important! Save Compatibility!: I'm putting this up here at the top, before I even talk about the build, so no one has an excuse to miss it :-p.

Alright, this should be the last progress report before Build 1 releases. First, something I probably should have mentioned before but it kept slipping my mind to do so, is that this month's Haven's Port release was timed to be out on the 16th from the beginning. Normally, I aim for the 15th for literal mid-month releases, but I took two days at the beginning of this month to sort out the Hosting for both Chastity Quest and Haven's Port. That, plus the fact that Chastity Quest Build 4 was a b...

Alright, it took me like 8 hours of banging my head on various objects, but both Build 3 and Build 4 of Chastity Quest have Web Versions that will play in-browser. This will both prevent everyone from having to redownload 3-4gb of data every month AND, hopefully, get rid of some of the ongoing compatibility issues. However, both are BRAND NEW and UNTESTED (even by me). Links can be found in their release posts. Make sure to read the warnings I put in those posts. So far, the ...

This the release of Build 4, it is, of course, also time to update the walkthrough! Notably, this is the first instance in which new scenes had to be added to old locations. As such, in order to make the new ones easy to spot out from the rest (and find using a search of the pdf), I've tagged each of the new scenes with:

This should help you be able to see what's new in the guide, while still being able to keep the same organization. I was tempted to r...

*Update* Build 4 is done. Having unexpected issues with the upload. Will be up as soon as possible.
Since I mentioned in the Story Reward release that I'd hoped to have Chastity Quest Build 4 up before I crashed this morning, I wanted to put up a quick note about that not being the case. I horribly horribly underestimated the amount of text I'd written for this release, because of the amount of it in the Mage Guild quests. I've already spent 4+ hours on e...

Alright! First, just a quick note about the Chastity Quest release. I've finished implementation for all scenes. All that's left is testing and edtits. I'm hopeful that it will be uploaded before I crash at 7-8am tomorrow morning. I might have been able to finish it before midnight if I'd stopped work on the Story Reward. But, honestly, I not only couldn't say that for certain, but I really really wanted the Story Reward to be done on time this month, after two months in a r...

That, however, actually left me with a bit of an unexpected hiccup. From the beginning, I intended the Bonus to effect All Patrons, by bumping the next story in the usual pattern early. In this case that would have meant pushing Part 1 of DoL:Origins to All Patrons, while releasing the new Part 2 to $5+ fo...

Alright! So I've mostly managed to stay on point for my revised schedule. For reference, I have finally made the call to shift from doing the thieves guild content this build. Instead, I'm planning to add the core of the Pony Courier Service (which has more pony content than just a courier service, by the by) which should add 4-5 additional scenes. Along with that, if nothing else goes wrong, I'll also be adding the Second Mage Guild Quest, which will contain 2 more fairly involved scenes. Th...

Early this month, I told you that I'd be posting some details about Haven's Port. However, the very first thing I wanted to cover hit a series of technical stumbling blocks that I only just finally overcame completely. Since I really wanted this to be the opening post in the series, due to it being something I've been unable to pull off in most of my other games to-date, that meant putting off the post series longer than I'd intende...
